Last dance for Mary Jane - Last GT3 Cup Experience at Barber

Nordschleife Master
Since we are on the Porsche Driving School subject...my understanding that if you want to register for a masters class you need to take the intro 2 day course first...can you do that and then do a masters class back to back...in affect saving you two separate trips/flights down ?

Actually a good friend just started working there. She asked one of the long-time guys for me.

This is right in line as my car seems to be around 5-8sec behind your 3.8RS at various tracks.
Anyway I'd say in stock form driven by a decent DE driver the 991GT3 is easy a 1:30-32 car. R comp tires under 29....

Basic 2 day, then masters, then cup. Pay your money and you're good. By the time you've gotten to cup experience you've dropped $20k.. Probably not a bad sum overall but that's a season in spec miata

But they will come up with something for the people who want life after Masters Plus. I talked to Jeff a lot about this. He's working on something.
It just won't be in a GT3 Cup at this point.

I did those two a few years ago...and had really never been in a sports car prior to that. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have been given approval
If you don't mind me asking, was your on-track experience only from the PSDS or do you have a DE background maybe? Just wondering what it takes to safely drive that beast.

I had a couple of BMW club and PCA outings at Road Atlanta, and a couple at Mid-Ohio.
This summer I did a back to back Performance//Masters at Barber.
That gave me 4 days to learn the track. And also experience the GT3 street car.
That and the fact I'm almost 60, I think they figured I would not have too much testosterone ruling the brain. As a younger crazier man,
I might have acted more boneheaded. Like I said the Cup car is easier to drive than the GT3 street car if and only if you drive her below the threshold.
Getting out of the pits and back in is a different story. HA!
